Tennis Finals.

Our men were eliminated in the semi-finals of the men's singles on Tuesday, and our two pairs in the mixed doubles suffered a like fate. Enid Cook and Page did very well indeed considering their youth and lack of Tournament experience against Miss Sherris and Barrer, the respective singles champions, who were easily the strongest pair in this event. C.U.C. retained the Tennis Cup, with 18 points, A.U.C. being runners-up with 8, V.U.C third with 6, O.U. scoring 3 points.

A most enjoyable Tournament, favoured throughout with glorious weather, concluded with the Tournament Ball on Tuesday night. The orchestra was marvellous, the claret cup incredible, especially the second variety, the partners superb. It is no wonder that the Ball was continued all over Christchurch till a very late hour.

We were boisterously farewelled, and arrived back-not a whit down-hearted, to be greeted in succession by ironical cheers, demands for production of our cutlery, and the white flag of surrender half-mast in the Gym.

A.U.C. were reluctantly farewelled, and so Tournament ended, with C.U.C. winners of the Tournament Shield by a wide margin, and V.U.C. winners of the Wooden Spoon by an even wider margin from O.U.

To our hosts at C.U.C. we can only record our grateful thanks. Our billetters combined with the lads and lassies to give us a wonderful time. Many a V.U.C. will weep homesick tears into his pillow when he sighs for those joyous days spent in Rolleston House or the Clarendon, or anywhere else you know of even better than I. Thanks, C.U.C.!
